How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

busdriver: The SATs five times! WOW! That’s not happening here, but I admire your DS for his persistence, which obviously paid off!

seiclan: Too bad you don’t have more comparison data for me! I’d be interested to see where your DS got in with those stats. If DS wasn’t interested in engineering possibly, we could consider Emory, Brandeis and some others. I do have the Wash U postcard on the kitchen table with a special visit day in the summer. Will hold onto that for now…

BUandBC: NC State won’t work for us because it is also important to us that there be a significant Jewish population, but I appreciate the suggestion. I did look into it after you mentioned it today.

2collegewego: Congrats on UMDCP. I think it makes a difference if you go in as a music or engineering major. Great school.

vmac: That’s good info on RPI. We visited last summer on a junior visit day (open house?). My DS was very impressed with it (wish we could take it out of Troy though). We mentioned the RPI Award and his possible interest in the school to DS’ GC, but he’s not the top math / science student so it’s not likely he will win it.
